Indeed introduces Job Search by Salary for Job Seekers; Indeed Job Analytics for Companies
Paul Forster
Welcome to a Online Savvy edition of Total Picture Radio. Joining us today is the co-founder and CEO of Indeed,Paul Forster. Paul and his partner Rony Kahan previously founded Jobsinthemoney, a leading site for finance professionals. In 2004, they founded Indeed to help provide job seekers with a comprehensive job search solution.
At the recent SHRM Annual convention, Indeed launched Job Analytics, which gives companies a snapshot of where thier jobs are posted, which jobs are receiving the most clicks from Indeed.com, what keyword searches people are using to find jobs, and how their jobs are performing compared with similar companies.
Indeed added a beta test for Job Search by Salary last April. You can now enter an annual salary in the keyword search box to find all jobs Indeed estimates pay at least that much.
Paul, How many people actually find their jobs on job boards? Depending on who I talk to, it’s between 4% and 25%. What’s your estimate?
What are the current trends in job postings? Are there more jobs than this time last year, or less?
Who do you aggregate your job listings from?
A couple of new features and initiatives you’ve recently announced I’d like to discuss -- first Job Search by Salary - how does this work?
Most job postings don’t have salaries associated to them, so how do you determine what a salary level is?
What feedback have you received from job seekers using this feature?
Okay, tell us about Indeed Job Analytics™
What’s Paul Forster’s economic outlook for 2008?
Is Indeed hiring?
About Indeed
Indeed is a search engine for jobs - with a radically different approach to job search. In one simple search, Indeed gives job seekers free access to millions of employment opportunities from thousands of websites. Indeed.com includes all the job listings from major job boards, newspapers, associations and company career pages - and we continue to add new sites every day.
With the familiar look and feel of general search engines, Indeed makes it easy for you to drill down by keyword and location to jobs that fit your requirements precisely. You may save your searches and have jobs delivered to you by email alert, MyYahoo, or other RSS feed readers. If you have a MyYahoo account, for example, your saved Indeed job search may be added at the click of a button.
